Gonzales Independent School District is a public school district based in Gonzales, Texas (USA).
Located in Gonzales County, a small portion of the district extends into Caldwell County.
The school district was recently engaged in a scandal over the use of prison jumpsuits as a way to combat violators of their dress codes. Opponents cited possible violations of the first amendment and it was rumored that the ACLU was involved.
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
In 2021 the district realigned its grades.
